FredwardWoke Gym? AKA Planet Wokeness
I'm picking up my friend at the gym. As she exits, she is chatting with another patron and said jokingly, "Are you out of your cotton-picking mind?" I took her to her house and went in for coffee with her husband. Her phone rang, and she turned purple and began cursing. Once she calmed down, we asked her what happened. She said that the manager of the gym had called, and one of their black employees had overheard her using a "racial term" and was offended. Once she calmed down, she cancelled her membership. How far are these idiots going to push?

As far as we let them.

Exactly
Rom 13:4 If you do evil, be afraid. For he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is God's minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil.

Rob Schneider commented on the ridiculousness of Planet Fitness’s noise policy while also allowing men in women’s restrooms.
I’m just surprised the OP’s friend was able to cancel her membership. I’ve heard it’s damned near impossible to cancel from Planet Fitness.

armoredI'm curious as to what a "racial term" is defined as.

FredwardApparently only black people ever picked cotton. Except for Roy Clark's family, but HE never picked cotton. But his mother did.....
